Meteorological observations date back to 1937, when under orders from Cuban President Batista observations were taken by a small station consisting of three Cuban officers. Three local men were added at a later time. The office was operated 24 hrs per day but only carried out synoptic observations. In the latter stages the station was managed by Mr. Felix Delarosa, who later obtained political asylum and worked in the U.S.
